You’re deeply involved in watching your favorite team play a critical football game when suddenly you realize that if the quarterback would just pass the ball to the guy open downfield, your team might just win. So, you end up chanting “pass the ball” and groan when he doesn’t. You may be holding onto a property you desperately need to pass off, but you’re waiting for the real estate market to improve or some other reason to sell it. In this case, you may not see that opening downfield. A 100-year-old IRS code – the 170 Bargain Sale – was originally created to encourage philanthropy, but also offers a brilliant solution to this situation.When an asset is simply accumulating costs – taxes and maintenance – with no relief in sight, it’s time to hand it off to someone who can put it to good use.With the Bargain Sale, you can offer a nonprofit your asset at a significantly reduced price, receive cash at closing and receive a charitable contribution deduction for the difference between

Take it from the Welfont Group( Welfont joe johnson ) that when it comes to selling, there’s selling for a profit, then there’s selling for so much more than just profit. Let’s say a few years back you bought a property you wanted to fix up and sell, but somehow you never got to the fixing part and now it’s sitting idle.What’s worse is it’s actually costing you money to maintain it and the last thing it’s doing it making you any money. Sure, you can just grab the phone, hire a real estate agent to market the property for you, hire a property manager to make sure it stays in good condition, but you still have to wait. In the end, after someone buys it (make that if someone does) you rake in the profits. However, how big will those profits be after you factor in how much you had to pay the real estate agent and the property manager. Then there are the taxes. Welfont Group founder and CEO  Welfont Joe Johnson  says there’s selling for profit, and selling for more than just prof

Entrepreneur  Dr. Joe Johnson ( Welfont Joe Johnson ) helped fund a microloan for Santos Isabel, an entrepreneur from Peru. Here is Santos Isabel’s Story In the district of Pomahuaca in Jaen, Cajamarca Province, Peru, you will find Santos Isabel. He is 41 years old and currently in a common law marriage where he has children with his partner. He is a hard worker, and over time he has received a large number of personal and work references from the inhabitants in his area. For the most part, he is making a living in agriculture and farming cattle. He has been doing this for 12 years and is now looking for a loan to make improvements to his farm. To keep his farm going, Santos Isabel approached Edpyme Alternativa for a loan.

Welfont Joe Johnson , Ph.D. Entrepreneur. Investor. Startup Expert. Too often, small business owners rely on high-interest credit cards to fund their businesses, thereby saddling themselves with unnecessary debt. While this may be the only available financing route for some, it’s important to fully investigate all viable options before making that decision. I’ve previously published a  startup funding primer  and, in this article, I’ll present another (frequently overlooked) funding method: factoring. Factoring requires that you establish a business relationship with a financing company (factor) offering this funding option to your particular industry. Factoring is  not  a loan and  does not require a bank’s involvement. Rather, you’ll be working directly with a financing company or funding group. Factoring is known by many names, including: invoice factoring, single invoice factoring, debt factoring, invoice discounting, and accounts receivable financing. Regardless of how it’
